     ODESSA — Eula Mae Turner Jones Culvahouse, 95, of Odessa died
             Thursday, Feb. 24, 2000, at Avalon Nursing Center.
                                      
   Mrs. Culvahouse was born Jan. 6, 1905, in Katempcy in Mason County and
    moved to Odessa in 1987 from Kermit. She married James S. Culvahouse
     April 29, 1927 in Coleman. He preceded her in death Dec. 28, 1994.
                                      
           "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
                                      
       Many of us have heard her quote this verse. Over the years she
    faithfully has trusted God to keep this promise. She was a member of
                    the First United Pentecostal Church.
                                      
       She served in the ministry with her husband, who pastored many
   Pentecostal churches in West Texas. Submitting to God’s call, she
     so willingly cared for families within the church and for visiting
     pastors. Her home was busy as she provided for a family with eight
     children. Her passions were quilting, doll making and collecting,
      cooking and sewing. She always enjoyed singing gospel hymns. She
   unselfishly gave to her husband, children and grandchildren without a
   single complaint. She was a sacrificial giver and a lady with a quiet,
   gentle spirit. She was a prayer warrior. God is truly blessing her now
                     with the rewards she so deserves.
                                      
    Today, she is happily reunited with those gone before her: husband,
       James S. Culvahouse; son, Eugene Culvahouse; daughter, Dorothy
        Phillips; and grandchildren, Nita Kay Norwood and James Earl
                                Culvahouse.
                                      
        She is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, Bill and Alice
   Culvahouse of Brownfield, Wayne and El Wanda Culvahouse of Midland and
     Nancy Culvahouse of Odessa; daughters and sons-in-law, Lucile and
   Leonard Granbery of Dekalb, Florence and Sherman Norwood and Mary and
       Don Lawson, all of Odessa, and Beverly and J.J. St. Germain of
     Alamogordo, NM; 15 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; and four
       great-great-grandchildren; and sister, Midge Weinheimer of San
                                  Antonio.
                                      
           The family suggest memorials be made to Home Hospice.
                                      
    Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 28, 2000, at the
     First United Pentecostal Church with Rev. Terry Pugh officiating.
                 Burial will be at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
                                      
    Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Jimmy Granbery, Jack Lawson, Dan
   Lawson, Dean Clemmer, Bryan Culvahouse, Steve Munsell, Herb Pearce and
                               James Martin.
                                      
       Funeral arrangements entrusted to Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home.
